00:05:44.020the oil and gas industry is shuttered.
00:05:46.640There is no way of getting to the mythical goal of carbon neutrality without completely gutting Alberta's oil and gas industry.
00:05:54.340So this man is not happy right now with what Mark Carney did.
00:05:59.620Again, I'm going to keep reiterating, even though it's not even going to result in a pipeline.
00:06:04.240Right now, the plan just says by September of 2027, we will potentially issue a construction permit or we might basically start the construction approval process.
00:06:15.580But that's a process that could take a very long time to actually finish. Remember, we've had multiple pipelines proposed over the years that made it through multiple hurdles and then were either shut down or overregulated to the point the companies pulled out and the liberal government blamed them for the failure when they were obviously the perpetrators of the failure in reality.
00:06:38.480And so to give you some perspective of just like what the current state of parliament looks like, Mark Carney has 174 liberal seats. You need 172 for a bare majority where the speaker can break ties.
00:06:57.300Now, if Stephen Gilboa, Nate Erskine-Smith, and Jonathan Wilkinson all end up resigning at the same time,
00:07:05.540do you know what could actually happen?
00:07:07.220The rest of Parliament, which is not happy with the Liberals, not Elizabeth May, the NDP, the Bloc, or the Conservatives,
00:07:13.800they could then basically hold the Liberals hostage for a bit and make them redo the committee appointments all across government.
00:07:22.780they could force everyone they could basically force a vote requiring there to be a reshuffling
00:07:30.320of the committees because what you may have heard uh from previous reports if steve mckinnon and
00:07:36.140the liberals their house leader had shuffled all the committees or really packed the committees
00:07:40.640with extra liberals so they could have more in-camera meetings so they could prevent people
00:07:45.320like finance minister francois philippe champaign testifying about his conflict of interest on the
00:07:50.560Alto train. They did that, and if we have three liberals leave, that could all be undone overnight,
00:07:56.680and you could actually start having, you know, testimony forced again, and the only way that
00:08:01.900maybe Mark Carney could save the situation is by proroguing Parliament and just waiting out until
00:08:07.680he can get his by-elections. Now, he could call them right away and basically just try and go on
00:08:13.020summer break and have his government survive through that time when we're not in session,
00:08:17.940But I believe the rest of Parliament, with a majority, is allowed to force Parliament to come back into session over the summer.
00:08:28.840And that is a tactic that I absolutely endorse Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives engaging in with other parties' help.
00:08:37.320Now I just want to move on to just a clip of Mark Carney speaking in Parliament.
00:08:41.920And I'm just doing this because this one particularly annoys me.
00:08:44.740I just despise this kind of, like, low IQ ballyhooing of non-successes.
00:08:53.040We keep hearing that we're doing fantastic under Mark Carney.
00:08:57.220Yes, we keep losing jobs every month, but there's always a silver lining to any piece of information.
00:09:03.840And he is going to tell you that we're actually doing better than ever right now.
00:09:07.200Asking rents have declined for 18 consecutive months.
00:09:11.100every single month that this government has been in office, Canadian average salaries have increased.
00:09:18.460Now, two things here. The thing about rents is actually true. In most cities, rents have gone
00:09:25.120down. And that is because actually of something Trudeau started doing that Mark Carney just let
00:13:11.900Now, you know, as well as those conditions, the things that have to happen for the pipeline to get built,
00:13:16.720I think there's all sorts of challenges, other political challenges that have opened up here.
00:13:21.540And I presume the Prime Minister has thought of them, but I'm not sure how they are going to be resolved.
00:13:26.680David Eby did not mince words in that statement.
00:13:30.600And I would say that that statement might be shared by people in Quebec, too,
00:13:34.080who believe that, which is where the Prime Minister has most of his power base, his political power base,
00:13:39.600who believe that the prime minister is kind of bending over backwards
00:13:42.800for a premier who has asked for a lot of things and is getting them in a very short timeline
00:13:49.840no in fact danielle smith has not gotten a lot of anything and i'm not slagging danielle smith i
00:13:56.880think she's being a little bit naive in signing this because in certain sense you're kind of
00:14:00.160giving your tacit endorsement to the plan of mark carney when it's not being implemented for
00:14:04.960potentially years uh but the idea that somehow alberta has been getting too much attention if
00:14:11.040you look at the pro the map of major projects that have been approved for fast tracking
00:14:15.680now many of them are like projects already you know 90 done or it's a small expansion to an
00:14:21.760existing project regardless though yes they haven't really gotten that much done but what
00:14:26.960they have gotten done is actually been concentrated outside of alberta alberta up until this pipeline
00:14:32.640that is years away from even actually being approved and it probably isn't going to happen
00:14:37.760is like the first one alberta has actually gotten but rosemary ignore her face here her face looks
00:14:45.520very weird here but she is making kind of good points politically hacky points but points that
00:14:51.520at least kind of indicate the attitude of the liberal base that mark carneau is more likely to
00:14:57.120bend to at the end of the day than to the needs of Albertans. What does that mean then for the rest
00:15:03.440of the premiers? How much does he have to try and placate them, including David Eby and others who
00:15:10.000now say, okay, you've shown cooperative federalism works for Alberta because you're worried about
00:15:15.520them staying in the country. What about the rest of us? And I'm not sure that I know how that's
00:15:22.000going to unfold in the months ahead. Yeah. Now, of course, if you saw yesterday's show, David Eby
00:15:27.640is currently trying to use the idea that Daniel Smith is threatening to separate from Canada
00:15:33.420if she doesn't get what she wants. I mean, she's never done that. But we already have like the CBC
00:15:37.960kind of giving that tacit nod to the idea that like somehow Daniel Smith is twisting the arm
00:15:43.480of the prime minister and the prime minister is neglecting everybody else. That's incorrect. But
00:15:48.860the part of what Rosemary said that is correct is the idea that, well, Mark Carney laid out
00:15:55.420his priorities or his basically requirements for a pipeline. And that required buy-in from the
00:16:03.860provinces and First Nations. Now, in a reasonable country, we would just say,
00:16:09.600hack sand, we're building a pipeline anyways. I'm the prime minister, I have the power to do it.
00:16:13.280But this is the requirements that Mark Carney has saddled himself with. And not only do we already have Mark Carney, sorry, David Eby basically saying no to the project, but as is reported in SICCA media here, we also have coastal First Nations remain absolute in opposition to West Coast pipeline.
00:16:34.520Now, I know everyone's going to say that's not a real First Nations.
00:16:43.700He made his proposal to them about a pipeline.
00:16:46.500And they do represent not a lot of tribes, but they do represent many bans.
00:16:51.460And many bans not part of coastal First Nations are also against the pipeline, frankly, because it makes them money to oppose the pipeline.
00:16:58.060And I'm not just talking about money that comes in from American nonprofits to stop pipelines.
00:17:02.980I'm also just talking about consultation fees and other sorts of things like that.
00:17:08.100The system of consultations makes bands a lot of money.
00:17:12.200And a pipeline might actually make them less money because it's, you know, you don't need the money anymore.
00:17:20.120You have a pipeline running through your territory.
00:17:22.680You get some royalties from the oil and gas company.
00:17:25.240But that doesn't have the big payouts attached to it that people like Stuart Phillip and those associated with the coastal First Nations want.
00:17:33.340They want far bigger payouts that they can get on a one-time basis, but they can always gin something up in order to generate more.
00:17:41.960So right now, Carney has signed something with Daniel Smith, where Daniel Smith is already agreeing to increase the industrial carbon tax for the chance in like two years that somehow he's going to be able to make a deal with David Eby and the First Nations to get the pipeline through?
00:17:59.980I think not, because that is his requirement, and he said that he wants to get it and deal with unreasonable people, and that doesn't seem like a reasonable plan to actually get something done.
00:18:11.640Anyways, well, so even Gilboa might be leaving, and it might actually not mean much of anything, which is kind of funny.
00:18:20.280Mark Carney may lose his majority government, but he's not even doing it to get a pipeline built.
00:18:25.280So that's not exactly a fantastic week for Mark Carney when this was supposed to be fairly triumphant.
00:18:31.560But anyways, with that all being said, thank you guys for watching.
